Ed Kelce spills the beans on when Travis Kelce actually popped the question to Taylor Swift after Tuesday’s engagement announcement
They’ve been keeping quite a secret!
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift broke the internet on Tuesday, announcing that they are engaged after two years of dating. But, it turns out that the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end actually popped the question a little bit ago.
“Travis actually did the proposal maybe two weeks—not quite two weeks ago,” Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, told ABC News 5 Cleveland. “He was going to put it off till this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event. And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event … when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.”
Ed added that Travis asked Swift to marry him at a garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
“He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, ‘let’s go out and have a glass of wine,’ … they got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful,” Ed added. “They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.”
And Ed had to keep the secret considering he was in a very public place when he found out the good news.
“I was at … an Eagles practice, a public practice that they had a lot of people that, well, the Eagles had 60,000 people at a public practice two weeks ago on a Sunday night,” Ed explained. “So at that practice … I got a FaceTime call from them, and as soon as I saw the FaceTime, I saw it was Travis, and then I saw Taylor there with him, I knew what they were going to say, and they, you know, let us know.”
Kelce and Swift’s love story is one that Ed has had a front row seat to. And it makes him so happy to see how in love his son is.
“We actually went to a thing in KC Sunday night, which was an ESPN airing of ‘The Kingdom’ and went to that, and his mother and I went with him back to his house for dinner, where Taylor made dinner, and we had a wonderful dinner with them outside on the patio and to just watch the two of them, just crazy about each other. It’s truly kinda neat,” Ed said.
